Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas 4 (Persian: عملیات بیت المقدس ۴) was a military operation during Iran–Iraq War[1][2][3] which was launched by Iran[4][5][6] on 25 March 1988[7] by the code of "Ya Aba Abd-Allah al-Hussain (a.s.)" (Persian: «یااباعبدالله الحسین (ع)») at the axis of Halabcheh-Shakhshemiran, by the command of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and it was lasted for two days. The goal of the operation was to fulfill/secure the left flank of Operation Dawn 10 area[8]—which was considered as a sensitive area for Iraq.[9]

- Martke plain; Shakh-Khashik heights and Bamoo (from the south)
